Who is this course for?

This 1.5 hour class is suitable for all levels.  This class is Christmas themed - please attend one of our other dates if you would like to create a none seasonal design.

What does the course cover?

Karen will teach you the technique of creating Decorative Glass using specialist Frit glass, creating your own designs in preparation for it to be fired in our kiln. Beginning by deciding on your own design - perhaps a snowman or a snowy scene - you will be guided through the process of creating your design using glass.  Your piece will then be fired in our kiln and ready for collection the following week.  This class is perfect for beginners and also for those who have already completed a Frit class and would like to explore further.

What is included in the fee?

Your fee includes tuition by Karen, the use of tools and equipment and all materials. 

Each student can make one piece of your own design (approx 15cmx6cm).  Note your base glass is precut before the session, this will be a blue tinted glass unless you contact us at the date of booking to order clear glass.

There is a maximum of 6 students per class to ensure individual attention.

Please note your pieces are fired in our kiln and will be ready for collection the following week by appointment.
